What if my absence had a grim outcome? What if I don’t attain my goal? What if it comes out as the unlooked for? What if time is shrivelled like paper? Why am I glimpsing the wrong way? Why has existence become so fierce; That it has pushed me back down my hole? The writer is a Grade 4 student at Taylor Elementary School.
